Any Given Sunday- Hill Run Audible

/in /by

Warm Up: Dynamic Stretching: Light jog to far end of parking lot with butt kickers and high knees mixed in. Karaoke (Left\Right) back toward starting point with Frankenstein kicks and High Knees to the start.

The Workout: Given the storm from the night before, PAX anticipated a very soggy and unpleasant run on the trail. An ‘audible’ was called and PAX were treated to a hill route up and down some local favorite roads- Stinson, Bass Lake, and Salem Ridge. For those that ran the Derek Davis Memorial run the day prior, they got the added bonus of running up Linksland Drive instead of down. PAX made their way back onto Holly Springs Road and headed back to Womble. Shout out to Double D, making several passes during the route to pick up the 6. As the PAX turned and headed down Raleigh St and onto Grigsby paces started to increase as we approached the final leg and loop around the soccer fields of the (5-6 mile) route (Bernie, Brexit, Double D EC 1-3 miles prior).

Mary: Stationary Stretching: Right Leg over Left, Left Leg over Right, Quad Stretches R\L, Downward Dog- Calf Stretches R\L

Announcements: South Wake 5 Year Convergence- Aug 29th 5:30am- 6:15am  (Action Park- Possum Trot- Home of the Original AO of South Wake F3), 9/11 Stair Climb, Brexit’s US Citizenship. Mookie and 187’s 1 year F3 Anniversary this week.

Prayer: Thoughts and prayers to 2 members of Brexit’s church community who have faced recent life threatening accidents. We pray for continued healing and care as they progress through this difficult time. Prayers for Bernie as he starts his new job and the added challenges that come with starting a new venture.

Skipping to the John

/in /by

EC: Boy George and UTI grabbed 2 miles on the EC route (you may know it from Paradise City EC)

Warm Up: We went through some dynamic stretching starting with the very difficult and dreaded: WALK.  Walking away from the start of the run, we warmed the legs and made some space for some Butt Kicks, followed by Karaokes, SKIPPING!!!!, and finalized the warm-up with some lunges with a twist.  END WARM UP

The Workout: The main event was a modified and simplified running route.  There is this whole thing about not leaving the 6 behind or losing people or something…  😛

This week we turned right once we left Ting and went straight down Main/55.  We had some folks returning for the 6 and continuing on past town Hall, turning back for Ting just after the Car Wash.  A bonus Port-o-John was spotted which reassured us we were on the right route and that all was right with the world.  From here, this is where we basically be followed the return route of the Holly Springs Half Marathon the all of the way back to Ting.  There were some slight modifications near the end following a reverse of the typical Paradise City EC route.  Extra miles, extra hills, extra FUN!!!  4.7+ miles of it!!!

Announcements:  Derek Davis 5k this weekend, keep an eye out for Lipstick, 187, and the shovel flag.  A post will likely hit the Facebooks, F3 Camp is also still happening this weekend – spots still available,

Prayer: Brandon, friend of Peak Week and Roger Roger, was placed in a coma to overcome some of his injuries incurred from an accident on the water.  Chips mentioned a young boy Dawson that needed our prayers, he sustained a concussion and was under observation in the hospital.  I checked in with Chips tonight and it sounds like he is home and doing much better.

The Warmup – By Kid Cracker
Yoga/Stretches

The Workout:
5-6 miles circling back for the 6

Mary:
N/A

Announcements:
HC = Hard Commit. It’s your commitment to the guys working out in the morning and your commitment to yourself. Don’t use it lightly. If you say you’ll be there be there. All too often I’m seeing way too many Fartsacks from those throwing an HC on the board or when talking to fellow PAX. If you get injured or are sick then stay home but if you just don’t want to get up or drank too much the night before then hold yourself accountable and make it. Others are counting on you. If you’re sore from the day before who cares, just show up. Take it easier on the workout. You’ll feel better after. If the body says no but the mind says yes then listen to the mind for once. Soapbox rant over.

Prayer: Roger Roger took out us.  Crablegs, Double D, Lucky, Roger Rogers grandfather

Proverbs 27:17  “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”

Men tend to keep things inside and this verse tells us though the power of being there for a friend.  Not only is their bonding that occurs but being there for a brother in Christ can uplift them, keep them accountable and makes them feel better.  Men need each other in the worst way and we tend to bottle things up and that leads to problems.  If you know someone you could reach out to, do so today!
